Girardi (ankle) has been cleared medically but will not suit up for Tuesday's game in New Jersey. He will travel with the team on its upcoming California road trip, indicating that he won't likely be ready for Wednesday's matchup with the Islanders either.

While it could frustrating to hear that Girardi is likely to miss two more games after having already missed the last 10, he does finally appear to be nearing a return, which could come as soon as Saturday in Los Angeles. Per the NHL's official media site, the veteran defenseman remains on injured reserve for the time being.
